67.73 is what percent of 41.89 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 41.89 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 41.89, so we can write it down as 100%=41.89.
4. We know, that x% equals 67.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=67.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=41.89
2) x%=67.73
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=41.89/67.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 67.73 is what percent of 41.89

100%/x%=41.89/67.73
(100/x)*x=(41.89/67.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.61848516167134*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.61848516167134) to get x
100/0.61848516167134=x
161.6853664359=x
x=161.6853664359

now we have:
67.73 is 161.6853664359% of 41.89
